This game was created by Notch for LD48 and is an old-school dungeon crawler kind of game made in under 48h’s, and it’s really hard! If you die you have to start over from the beginning. I had trouble with key input getting stuck and bugging especially during action filled moments, and I longed for mouse-support, so I tried it out and it turned out quite cool! Also added is mousewheel for item selection and options for setting resolution. He didn’t add a license to the release, but I have of course included all the source.

I have seen alot of knittings made from video game motifs like this dashing Contra sweater.

The knitting of the boy for example looks like it could actually be from a game of some sort, but in that case I haven’t got the slightest idea of which! In some way it almost feels like the digitized versions are the originals, and not the other way around. The castle is made with Minecraft because the knitting always represented that for me.
